Following the introduction of a more affordable new tier, Google One’s AI Ultra plans have been a tiny bit confusing for those looking to switch, but Google is updating the process to make things a bit more clear.
During Google I/O 2026 last week, the top-end AI Ultra plan for Google One was split in two – a $200/month plan with 30x the usage limits and 30TB of storage, and a second $100/month plan with lesser limits and storage, but still far more AI compute compared to lesser offerings.
The two plans technically share the same “AI Ultra” plan, though, which is why it was quickly pointed out that Google’s upgrade flow didn’t really do much to show the difference between the two offerings – just a doubled price tag for a fraction of the added storage that price suggested.
Vikas Kansal, Google’s lead for Gemini AI subscriptions, confirmed on Twitter/X that a change has started rolling out to make this all a bit more clear. Google One AI Ultra plans now directly show the amount of AI usage you get alongside the storage allotment at the time you’re looking to upgrade your plan. No clicking to see more benefits, just a clear difference between the two offerings.
Of course, it’s still easy to point out that these plans should probably just have different names in the first place. But, assuming that’s not changing, this seems like a good way to meet in the middle.
Google One AI Ultra plans are available now.
